Those where more, how should I put it, 'visual' and 'tangible' threads. Now it's watch out or someone is aggregating all your infornation about you and will use it for some neferarious things...
Which I find is a much wider issue, but is also much more dificult to warn and protect.

Have seen some mods who aren't reslly fond of it and ask users to not do it.

Reason given is that copyright handles linking different than copying of articles. (Which kind of makes sense for me)

Probably yes, I see this as well on my pihole...some devices/apps run amok if they can't reach their home and send multiple requests per second

I do it exactly like that, except that im connected via vpn most of the time, since my pihole is also located in my lan

Yeah, that's how they are named, my experience showed that the devices used whichever of the two they wanted.

Also, there's usually no reason as a user to pay monthly for a feature in a self-hosted application.
The Dev has no monthly costs for that feature. Let me buy the application/feature, and if you need money for a new feature, create a feature that is worth buying again. No need to bully the user into a monthly subscription...

Restic can do append-only when you use their rest server (easily deployed in a docker container)

2 Raspberry Pi 4 with a few services running (some directly, some via docker): pihole, pialert, gitlab plantuml, munin, restic rest server, jupyter instance, airsonic-advanced. And an old synology NAS which serves as document and media server

Yep just swapped over from a self hosted solution with gitlab and sublime.. But that was to restrictive and the overall experience wasnt really good...

I then found a post somewhere on lemmy a post abotu PKMS and what people are using... One was obsidian... So I tried it and I'm really happy

Edit: I saw some comments about some missing self hosting. Since the notes are saved as standard md files you easily ca sync them with whatever you want... I set it up with my synology NAS and DS Drive, but any tool which can sync two-ways should be fine

Unfortunately, A not too small amount answered no when I aked them...

Synology NAS with DS Photo and their app on my phone... And then I activate photo backup in there And to keep Connected i use a wireguard vpn

Alternatively I justt saw, that proton drive now supports photo backup... Maybe I'll give it a spin

It can't bypass my network DNS if only my DNS server is allowed to send out via port 53.

It's really fun to see how some devices are completely panicking. (I only have some chromecast music devices which do not need any internet) Anyway, I do hate that there are manufacturers who hardcode a dns into MY devices.

For the time I'm outside my network I do have a VPN which allows me to acces my pi-hole from outside (I never felt that the speed or latency is especially low)

There are even routers which allow you to re-route specific ports to specific devices. So, even if the device wants 8.8.8.8 the firewall would reroute it to my dns server

If you want a privacy friendly option that works from in/and outside your network without all the hassle above I can also recommend proton VPN which also procides tracker and ad blocking.
